A green overhead sign on a Florida interstate lists a city name next to a number of miles. According to the manual, green guide signs are the color category that carries which two kinds of information?
-
A.
Directions and distances Correct
-
B.
Services and fuel prices
-
C.
Weather and road hazards
-
D.
Speed limits and lane use
The answer is "Directions and distances"
Green guide signs give information about directions and distances, which is why a city name next to a mileage figure prints on green. Drivers who pick B are recalling the tall fuel-price signs planted at interstate exit ramps and lumping every roadside panel together instead of sorting by the manual's color categories.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. Services and fuel prices
Blue-and-white service signs direct drivers to services such as gas and food, and fuel prices are not one of the sign categories the manual defines. This answer reads the tall fuel-price signs planted at exit ramps as official service panels and folds their prices into the same color category as gas and food guidance.
C. Weather and road hazards
Road hazards appear on yellow warning signs, and weather alerts run on overhead dynamic message boards, not on green guide signs. This answer recalls the amber message boards flashing weather alerts overhead on Florida interstates and files them under the color of the nearest static sign.
D. Speed limits and lane use
Speed limits and lane use appear on white regulatory signs, not on green guide signs. This answer treats every posted panel on the interstate as a rule-enforcement sign and skips the color code the manual uses to sort them.
